It's a joke how such a simple thing as reducing the maximum allowed working hours involves so much politics. There's nothing magical about 5-day/40-hour weeks.

It's a joke how such a simple thing as reducing the maximum allowed working hours involves so much politics. There's nothing magical about 5-day/40-hour weeks. If it was reduced to 4-day/32-hour weeks, the employers can still manage their employees to work 5 days in overlapping shifts. I think it's as simple as holding a referendum and seeing what do people want.
